Living and learning outside of the lines

The kids and I worked on a craft for our abandoned art project today, so I thought I would share it. It’s simple and beautiful! Even little kids can do this one if you help cut out the feathers and tie the ribbons. Mother’s Day/Father’s Day is coming up too. ::wink wink::

Oof! This worked – but didn’t work. I’m not on a good streak of science experiments here!

We tried to grow sugar crystals on skewers – rock candy. The crystals grew just fine – but not on the skewer. The sides, the base, the top. Never the skewer. Not sure why, but we’ll try again next time!

Every so often we do a refresher of the solar system. The Engineer knows the names of the planets, of course, and he’s working on various moons (unprompted, by the way!) I get Callisto and Io mixed up, but he’s pretty good about it.
